Sylvia Tella

Her music career began in the 1970s when she was spotted by Frank Farian who booked her as backing vocalist for Boney M on the live circuit. Sylvia soon embarked on a successful solo career, releasing her debut album Spell in 1981 which was produced by the acclaimed Jamaican producer Lloyd Charmers.

Her 1993 hit Special Way is just one example of her lasting influence in the reggae community.
